ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -

A man was robbed and shot outside a business near the SLU campus early Friday morning, police said.

The victim, 43, was exiting out the back door of a business in the 3500 block of Lindell around 12:15 a.m. when one of the suspects approached him and asked for directions. The victim then pointed him in the correct direction.

As the victim was getting close to his car, police believe two other suspects approached him, displayed guns and demanded him to hand over his property. The victim gave the suspects his car keys, who then entered his car.

The victim proceeded to run, and a suspect then fired shots at him, hitting him in the calf.

The three suspects then abandoned the victim’s car. The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
